Insights into Arca Continental's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Arca Continental generated a total of 155,337 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 88.26% of Arca Continental's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 10.81% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Arca Continental's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Arca Continental's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Arca Continental reported a total waste generation of 155,337 metric tonnes, of which 88.26% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Arca Continental has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Arca Continental reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Arca Continental's total waste generation increased by 3.78%, including a 7.46% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Arca Continental's waste recovery rate increased by 2.86%, including a 11.47% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Arca Continental has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.

How Arca Continental reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Arca Continental's total waste generation increased by 3.78%, including a 7.46% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, Arca Continental saw a long-term increase of 36.89% in hazardous waste share, but a 39.9% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, Arca Continental's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
How does Arca Continental treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Arca Continental reported that 1,723 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.11% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (62.57%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Arca Continental has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
